[Python-Dev] No buildbot to test wide unicode?

Hello,

It seems that there is no buildbot to test a wide unicode build.

On http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/3.x/ all outputs of the "configure"
steps show this message::
  checking what type to use for str... unsigned short
which looks like a ucs2 build to me.

Since wide unicode is the standard chosen by some Linux distributions,
it would make sense to have at least one buildbot running with
--with-wide-unicode (3.x) or --enable-unicode=ucs4 (2.x).
